The Pelsers

A Shelter for the Heart

About a week ago, I saw through Twitter and some blogs that Google was preparing to test their Chrome OS and inviting people to apply to be beta testers.  I'm already a die-hard Google user – from Gmail and Google Reader to Google Docs and Google Calendar.  I live in “the cloud” for the most part.  I love playing with new technology and I don't mind dealing with some quirks, so I thought I'd apply.  Never in a million years did I think that I'd really be selected…

Today, I arrived home from running errands to find a package on the front porch.  Being that it is only a week until Christmas, I was hesitant to open a nondescript package, fearing that I'd be ruining a Christmas present from Josh.  But it had my name on it.  So I opened it.  My next thought was that someone had sent a package for Jonathan for Christmas.  I dug in further, wondering what was in this inner box:

Then, it hit me.  Maybe it was a Google Chrome OS notebook.  I opened this interesting box… and sure enough, this was inside:

My very own Cr-48 Google Chrome OS Notebook.  I giggle and squealed.  That got Jonathan's attention and he wanted to play with it.  I said, Mommy first 🙂

I had a little time to play this afternoon and then write this blog post tonight.  I'll share my thoughts and experiences along the way.  You never know; a Google Chrome OS notebook could end up being your next computer.

Do you want to be a tester to?  Learn more and apply.  Hurry.  They are only accepting applications through December 21.
